I know many people use the renown Beyond411 to do quick lookups on their BlackBerry but I just found a piece of software that caters better to certain uses. The new vTap beta for WikiPedia does an amazing job of providing search results as you type. It shows you the results and when you click [...]

Previously I had mentioned that I was looking into alternative BES hosting companies and last month I changed to TheMessageCenter.com and have been quite happy since. This past week they sent me an email that their already generous 500MB of storage would be increased for all users to 1GB for free. Personally I think this [...]

BoyGenius has once again gotten some early screenshots of the upcoming GPS BlackBerry 8310 Curve. The new curve is set to launch on AT&T this week on Thursday and should add a bit of umph to the current Curve feature set by adding GPS capabilities. The new Curve from AT&T will be coming in both [...]

The only problem with MidpSSH is that it does not support input buffering like Idokorro’s Mobile SSH application. The [...]

Since the Mobile YouTube page does not natively support BlackBerry devices a few alternatives have popped up. One of our readers asked me how to get these video’s on their BlackBerry so I thought I would share it with the rest of you. These solutions are not pretty and quite slow but they do work [...]

There are two free applications for BlackBerry that allow you to post to your Mini-Blog from your BlackBerry. I am not personally into “Stream of consciousness” blogging but I have quite a few friends who post to their Twitter or Jaiku Blog daily. The two applications are free and seem to be quite useful:

It seems that the upcoming Verizon Pearl 2 is going to be a hit for RIM. The much awaited CDMA Pearl in my opinion will draw quite a few customers to Verizon. I have gotten quite a few emails from readers asking for more information on the device release. According to the venerable BoyGenius we [...]

I found this great Knowledgebase resource detailing the BlackBerry features available to Nokia BlackBerry Connect users on a company BES.
